Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

I mean maybe but isn’t FH-1 only gonna come this way to work BR and Extech whenever they get cars?

It seems like recently, every week there is a car for Laird's or Extech to be dropped off

New lights are going in at Squankum Road today.

JB-1 approaching Farmingdale 10:45 am

South at Farmingdale 11:02 AM. engineer is pushing the train with the 752 while the conductor sits in the front and blows the horn in 1888

Stack of fresh ties sitting at the Maxim Road crossing…

Approaching old tavern Road at 11:29 AM. Both crewmembers are now in the 1888

South at DCS LAKEWOOD 11:57 AM

12 for Woodhaven

Approaching Maxim Road 1:35 PM

West from Farmingdale at 2:04 PM

There is a video on Facebook of low-hanging (telephone?) wires at the Okerson Rd crossing getting touched by the train. Nothing major, but those wires are bouncing in the video...

So much for Plate F access

I'm no railroader, but is a conductor qualified to "lead" a train like this from Farmingdale all the way to Lakewood?

How is this any different than riding the head end of a shove.? Answer..it isnt.

They only shoved until they were just outside farmingdale anyways. Then they both got in 1888 and took it to Lakewood.
